No you can't expect Ramsey to create chances, score goals, tackle, press, pass/keep the ball and run up/down for 90 mins. Cazorla can't do half of that. You guys should free Ramsey abeg, He was immense in the middle with Flamini yesterday.
Guy your head they there o, they sha want to blame ramsey for everything, the guy tackled them at our box several times, and even still had the energy to run at them at 86mins, since ozil doesnt shoot, we need another mielfielder to attempt goal thats if there isnt any player in a better position to shoot..
Aside wilshere and Rosciky and sanchez no orther playet has the energy for that box to box position for good 90mins...

TBH, carzolas best position is the ozil role, but we cant afford to sit one on bench, he can only be good at cm and lw but not his best.
Carzola is good on the ball, disciplined and good at lauching good pass better than ramsey but he isnt as energetic like before,he cant drive and that slows our game to side pasding possesion boring foorball,i doubt he can run at oppositions,cant break up play and often bullied in the middle

i laugh when they expect him to track yaya down.

Both are different and both have their advantages.

I like the way Ramsey adapts to combining with Ozil as Cazorla did. It has really helped. His tackles also makes up for Flamini and maybe reduces his foul incidents. But...

Cazorla > Ramsey

Same Cazorla Dele alli bullied off the park, loool. Ramsey's energy Is needed in that middle, better than getting side ways boring passes all the time.

Seems he Is giving himself brain

Here is a revealing quote from Arsene Wenger, particularly with regard to the change in style he has adopted for games against other top teams in the division...

"Possession is not rewarded like it was before. It doesn't give you the win as much."

you get brain, carzola seems getting old, but his great passings are still there..
Ramsey wishere and Rosciky for me at the box to box position, orthers are just 1 two possesion football with no drive.
you need to see kante of leicester so full of energy that suits the league.
say no to possesion less attacking driving football# cheesy grin

Football evolves and a good coach evolves with it. Arsene like Fergie has been known to change their systems regularly.

Once upon a time, possession football was the trick, Barcelona and Spain used it to dominate football for years.

As a matter of fact, some small teams still use it eg Bournemouth.

But as Arsene rightly pointed out, it is gradually phasing out. Leicester is a good example.

Dude...

Possession football is very powerful if you have the players

Arsene moved from his power footie of the invincibles to a possession style to suit cesc, santi, etc

Only that he never got the enforcer which is required

Flamini was a one year experiment that was truncated when he left on a free

Until now we have him n coq

I don't think it is laziness. They are simply not suited to that style. Imagine an iroko like Fellaini wanting to play possession football? Nah!

LvG himself seems to be experimenting with that pattern, which explains the purchase of Schneiderlin and and Schweini, may be with time he will perfect it; but that's the problem - NO TIME.

Wilshere's situation is a very tough one, it brings to bare a conversation about the future of the CMF for our team, Carzola turned 31 this month and is inevitably approaching the latter path of his career as the rigors of the EPL are daunting, we have not exactly handled offensive minded players who hit the magic number 30 well, Rosicky's situation comes to mind, I feel he should have been treated better and deserves some playing time when fit.

Ramsey, Wilshere, depending on what Wenger does with academy players like Jeff Reine- Adelaide and Krystian Bielik would compete for that CMF first team spot and again the transfer market would play a huge role especially if Wenger decides to dip into the market.

I am with you on taking Ramsey ahead of JW albeit a lot of improvement, it would be interesting to see how things pan out.

Just as RvP and Diaby, I'm afraid Wilshere may only give us one or two seasons before he phases out.

How good do you see Jeff and Bielik within the next one year?
